Hi everyone,
What I'm about to say may be blasphemy around these parts, but I put my name down on the waiting list (With a deposit) for a Caterham Seven kit some time in early 2023 to reserve a 2024 build spot and I'm no longer interested in getting the car. This is the problem with long wait times - between that time and now, we've had our first kid and I've already gotten rid of a couple two seaters in my collection because I have more fun driving an M5, for example, with my wife and kid, than I do driving by myself.
It appears I have a build date scheduled for some time mid-summer 2024 here and I'm wondering, rather than cancelling and wasting my $5k deposit, has anyone seen someone sell their build spot in the past? I mean, there has to be someone else out there interested in getting one of these kits who doesn't want to wait and could basically buy my spot from me perhaps? Before early Feb here I'll need to put down the next $10k deposit and the balance would be due upon completion. I can't tell if the best bet would be to try to sell the spot now (If that's even possible) or to just complete the process and then sell the kit when it's here. The latter is less than ideal for me for a number of reasons.
My apologies - I'm editing here because I realize I didn't mention what spec this kit is - It is a 420R
